Yes, swapping the engine was the plan from the beginning, but at first I wanted to wait and drive a year or so with an original engine (because i didn't liked the idea off al the work that's needed with such a motorswap) but because this one was drowning, I chose for the short pain...

Damn, I put a warning in my topic, but some people only look at the pictures I presume..

And destroy? Well I see it like this, you buy an old BMW that nobody wants (it was for sale for more than 3 years) you put in a engine that costs as much as the original price of the car, put some rims on it that cost 1/4 of the original price of the car, lower it and put it in an '80's race-look..In my dictionary that's called 'improving' or even saving from an certain death

Looks good for a race track. But for street use... hellooooooooooo speed bumps :lol:
Seriously, I don't understand how people can lower their car that much. On what kind of roads do they drive their cars?

The lowering is not that much of a problem, because I drive big wheels, the chassis of my car won't be much lower than a -4cm lowered E21 on 13" or 15" Speedbumps for example are no problem at all!

Ok, I expected it to be lower and scraping speed bumps. Then my question still stands for people with extremely lowered cars and not so big wheels :D
And you're still not gonna get that (Gruppe 5?) race version across a speed bump with that spoiler :lol:
